Plug and Play Tech Center

2018 - 2021

Senior Program Manager, Community Manager


As the first Program and Community Manager hire for Plug and Play’s Fintech and Insurtech verticals in Singapore, I played a pivotal role in launching and scaling corporate and startup innovation programs across Southeast Asia. I led program operations end-to-end, from cohort management and expert mentor matching to event execution and ecosystem engagement.

Beyond operations, I spearheaded community growth and thought leadership initiatives, creating multi-channel content strategies and flagship events. My marketing and storytelling efforts built visibility across newsletters, case studies, LinkedIn communities, and event content, strengthening our brand presence and positioning Plug and Play as a leader in fintech and insurtech innovation.

Throughout my tenure, I collaborated with global industry leaders, including Tokio Marine, Aflac, Aon, Swiss Re, Willis Towers Watson, MSIG, Cathay Financial, NTUC Income, ADB Ventures, Sequis Life, Krungthai Bank, Astra International, AsiaPay, and TVS Credit.

By fostering high-impact partnerships between startups, corporates, and investors, I helped accelerate innovation and bring transformative technologies to market. My contributions directly advanced Plug and Play's mission of connecting entrepreneurs with the resources and opportunities needed to scale bold ideas into global impact.

Plug and Play, headquartered in Silicon Valley, is the world’s largest innovation platform and the most active venture capital firm globally, with portfolio exits including Dropbox, PayPal, and Lending Club.
